About

Our Story

ZAMRUD is a Singapore-based atelier dedicated to the craft of artisanal leather goods and premium shoe repair & restoration services. What began as a personal project that was a leather quiver, the brand was built on a simple principle - that true luxury lies in the enduring beauty of craftsmanship, quality materials and care.

Through artisanal craftsmanship and extending the life of your well-made footwear, the atelier honours the makers who came before and champions a slower, more conscious form of luxury — one that values longevity over disposability.

FOUNDER / LEAD ARTISAN

Muhammad Ihsan

ZAMRUD was initiated in 2018, by our founder, Muhammad Ihsan at the age of 25. Choosing to forego a traditional career route, Ihsan embarked on his entrepreneurial dream.

To hone his craft, he also sought mentorship through an esteemed brand specialising in Goodyear-Welted footwear. Years of unwavering dedication has enabled him to develop an expertise in artisanal craftsmanship, leather care and shoe repair.

Purpose

Beyond the ethos of craftsmanship and sustainability, ZAMRUD is also guided by a sense of purpose. As part of our commitment to Barakah (divine blessing) a portion of our profits is pledged to charitable causes, including humanitarian aid for communities in need such as Gaza. We believe that true prosperity is measured not only by what we create, but by what we give back.
